A two level capability map read as an investment heat map The ArchiMate Capability Map gives a structured overview of what the business can do, two levels deep, and doubles as a heat map: London Grid Distribution marks capacity assessment as its one priority because connection demand is outgrowing the tools that assess it.
A two level capability map read as an investment heat map
A Capability Map viewpoint from the ArchiMate 3.2 Specification by The Open Group, drawn as a capability tree for London Grid Distribution. Three level one capabilities sit in a row: Manage customer connections, Operate and maintain the network, and Steward network data. Each parents a column of two level two capabilities joined by an aggregates arrow, giving six tiles in all. The level two tiles are shaded as a heat map read against a legend: a soft green for stable, a soft amber for watch, and the accent tint for the single investment priority. Capacity assessment carries the priority tint because connection demand is outgrowing the tools that assess it, so investment goes there first.
